I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 986 - 985: Growing Stronger!

Therefore, I must become stronger as soon as possible so that I can protect those I want to protect!

As Ye Chen walked, he pondered on how he could become stronger now.

"Ye Chen, what a coincidence!"

Suddenly, a voice called out from ahead.

Ye Chen looked up and saw a young man with flowing long hair walking toward him.

Ye Chen glanced at the young man, noticing that he also wore a blue robe with a pitch-black badge hanging on his chest.

This badge was only for students of Tianhai Academy, proving that this young man had an unusual identity.

"Ye Chen, you're here too. I was just worried I wouldn't be able to find you!" the young man said with a smile.

Ye Chen replied with a smile, "Sorry, I was delayed by some trouble just now!"

"Haha, no worries. Our academy has just started enrolling students, unlike some forces that have already recruited several batches. We're just beginning!" the young man chuckled.

At this moment, the young man's gaze suddenly fell on the black Spiritual Beast resting on Ye Chen's shoulder, a look of surprise flashing across his face. "Oh, your Spiritual Pet is so cute. What breed is it, able to fly like that? Is it a flying Demon Beast? How much might it sell for?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, it isn't a flying Spiritual Beast!"

"Oh, it's not a flying Spiritual Beast?" the young man paused, then laughed, "Ye Chen, don't scare me. How could such a Spiritual Pet not be a flying beast? Don't fool me!"

"It's true, I don't know why it can fly either. If you don't believe me, ask it yourself!"

Saying this, Ye Chen pointed at the Black Dragon.

Surprised, the young man looked at the Black Dragon and then said, "Sorry, Ye Chen. I was out of line!"

The Black Dragon snorted coldly, turned its head arrogantly, not bothering to look at the young man.

"Haha, no worries, this little guy has a stubborn temper!" Ye Chen said with a smile, shaking his head.

"This little guy sure has a temper. Seems like Ye Chen, you've spent quite a bit to tame it!" the young man said with a laugh, then continued, "Since you plan to become my disciple, what kind of reward do you intend to offer me?"

"Uh..." Ye Chen paused upon hearing this, then thought of something, and took out three hundred Spirit Stones from his pocket and placed them on the table.

Ye Chen had come here just to buy Alchemy, and these three hundred Spirit Stones were just enough.

"Ye Chen, you're too generous, three hundred Spirit Stones is far too much!" The young man quickly said upon seeing Ye Chen hand over the Spirit Stones.

"No problem, I have plenty more. When I need more, I'll find you again!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Alright then, in that case, we won't interrupt your cultivation any longer!"

The young man cupped his hands and then left.

Watching the young man's figure leave, a smile appeared on Ye Chen's lips. This person is not foolish.

Seeing Ye Chen's expression, the nearby shop owner suddenly understood something. Looking at Ye Chen, he said with a smile, "So you're not a student of Tianhai Academy!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Yes!"

Ye Chen nodded.

"Then I'm relieved. I don't dare let outsiders into Tianhai Academy. After all, Tianhai Academy is different from other places; letting outsiders in could seriously damage its reputation!" the shop owner explained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded.

"Ye Chen, this shop is now yours. I'm leaving!" With that, the shop owner left, but before leaving, he said to Ye Chen, "By the way, Ye Chen, I should remind you that Tianhai Academy has been quite unsettled recently. I've heard several important figures have arrived in the city. Be careful of everyone!"

After saying this, the shop owner left, disappearing into the alleyways.

"Tianhai Academy really is bustling!"

Ye Chen shook his head, muttering to himself.

Ye Chen didn't know the situation within Tianhai Academy, nor did he expect that within just a few days, many academy students had come because of him.

Moreover, even some genius disciples of Tianhai Academy's Inner Sect had been invited by academy elders to discuss joining the academy.

Although Tianhai Academy wasn't as large as Tianfeng City, it was definitely notable within the Tianhai Region.

Tianhai Academy's Inner Sect disciples had their own exclusive cultivation caves, which they used for cultivation.

The academy students' daily cultivation was divided into two types: Alchemy Room and Martial Arts Room. These caves shared primordial energy, allowing for rapid cultivation speed, much more efficient than ordinary disciples.

Ye Chen arrived at Tianhai Academy but didn't go directly to the Alchemy and Martial Arts rooms; instead, he chose to settle down.

Most of Tianhai Academy's students came from various countries with highly favorable cultivation environments and learning conditions. Moreover, during cultivation, they could replenish Spiritual Energy without suffering primordial energy harm, making their efforts highly efficacious.

The accommodation area was the best place for academy disciples to live, and it had guards to prevent other students from approaching.

Ye Chen found a quiet and secluded area and then sat cross-legged, starting to practice the "Xuanming Nine Layers Technique."

This magical secret technique could amplify the primordial energy within one's body.

Also, its power was immense, not only increasing the practitioner's strength but also helping absorb surrounding primordial energy, converting it into their own!

Of course, this technique was highly challenging to master; it required a lot of time to grasp. Those without talent could never achieve it.

However, the path of cultivation has always been this way.

Each cultivation session marks the beginning of a practitioner's progress in skill. As long as one doesn't falter on the path, there's no fear of declining abilities.

Ye Chen knew that to improve his cultivation, he must put in the effort, so he never complained about the difficulty of this secret technique.

Ye Chen's body continuously absorbed the Spiritual Energy around him, converting it into his primordial energy while also repairing his damaged meridians, which greatly helped his recovery.

Lately, every night Ye Chen went to the practice field to diligently train "Nine Heavens Mysterious Technique." This method is monotonous, but the progress in cultivation is swift.
